Episode 34: Sprint Planning, Critical Path, and Rebaselining Techniques

August 17, 2025 · 16 min

Show notes

In this episode, we link Agile sprint planning with traditional scheduling concepts like critical path analysis. You’ll learn how sprint planning defines goals, selects backlog items, and allocates team capacity, while critical path analysis identifies the sequence of tasks that determine the shortest possible project duration. We also discuss how to track schedule performance against the baseline.

The second half covers rebaselining techniques—when and how to revise the project schedule to reflect significant changes. Real-world examples demonstrate balancing flexibility with control, ensuring that updates are documented and approved. This knowledge equips you to manage evolving project timelines in both exam scenarios and professional settings. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com, where you’ll find more cyber prepcasts, books, and information to strengthen your certification path.
